Syllabus

<p>1. Bankruptcy—Discharge—Grounds for Refusal.</p> <p>A bankrupt cannot be denied a discharge because of a failure to schedule land which he conveyed three years before the passage of the bankruptcy act, unless it is clearly shown that he really owned the same or an interest therein at the time of the filing of the petition in bankruptcy. That the conveyance was without consideration, and that creditors might have subjected the land to their debts, is no ground for refusal of a discharge.</p>
